The wife and I went down as well and it was an awesome weekend to be at the Glen, the weather was unbelievable from Friday to Sunday! Hoping to be there a few more weekends this summer :-) its a great drive with lots of nice roads to get there from here (~4hrs) Next time I will bring the GoPro and mount it. The track is open for laps for $25 on all days except the blackout dates listed on their webpage.
Nice pics by the way :-)

It was the smoothest asphalt I've ever been on for sure. I carried a little too much speed going into the boot and scared the crap out of myself on the first lap  But the car stuck like glue and I most likely could have gone faster. It was a great time and I can see why people do DE days. Here are a few pics i took with my phone before and after the actual driving part.
